More Hype: Major Snowstorm Still POSSIBLE Around Easter



Well, another model run this afternoon just added to the already growing excitement over a possible snowstorm around easter or the day after. The EURO, the top image is very similar to what the 12z GFS looked like, showing a strong area of low pressure tracking just inland from the Atlantic ocean all the way up the east coast. That would mean heavy snow for us. The 18z DGEX also looked a lot like the 12Z GFS and EURO, showing a low tracking just inland from the Atlantic Ocean up the east coast. It showed snow from northern Ohio with mixing or rain for central/southern Ohio. The 18z GFS tracked farther SE, missing us with the heaviest snow. As of now this storm is very hard to call, as we could still see anything from mainly rain across Ohio to a blizzard to hardly anything, but as it stands now, the possibility is there from the Great Plains through Ohio, and the rest of the lower Great Lakes, and into New England of a major late season snowstorm. Right now I think that unless the low is suppressed way to the south most of the big cities along the east coast (except for Boston) will see mainly rain, but it is areas not too far inland that are higher up that need to watch for heavy snow in the NE, and through New England as well. Much more on this later.
